The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted a request under the Paperwork Reduction Act for approval to gather information on assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs. This process includes reporting on ART pregnancy success rates and embryo laboratories to comply with the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act. The CDC aims to modify and extend their data collection process to better reflect current clinical practice due to increased ART use. The Office of Management and Budget invites public feedback on the necessity and impact of this data collection for 30 days following the notice.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to learn more about how doctors help people have babies using special treatments, and they need people to tell them if collecting this information is important and easy to do. They're changing the way they ask for this information to make sure it matches what doctors are doing now.
